Обсуждение: Testing against RHEL 8 Beta, python issue

Hi %,

is this something the configure script needs to take care of?

checking for CFLAGS recommended by Perl... -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2-Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong -grecord-gcc-switches
-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables-fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

-fstack-protector-strong-L/usr/local/lib  -L/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE -lperl -lpthread -lresolv -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc 
checking for python... no
configure: error: Python not found

Python in RHEL 8 Beta is:

[postgres@rhel8 ~]$ which python3.6
/usr/bin/python3.6

Linking that does work then:
[postgres@rhel8 ~]$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3.6 /usr/bin/python

make and make install run fine.  This was a test from:

[postgres@rhel8 postgresql]$ git branch
* master

No.  If your python is not named "python", you need to do something
like

    configure --with-python PYTHON=python3.6
